It seems to be great! Is there a way you can add a filter to the event list? Maybe let the user change how much they want to see or if they don't want to see anything in particular?

As for the build order log, is something like what units were made possible to be extracted from the replay? (I.e. I think WC3Replays had this feature)

Just uploaded a file, all the information looks good, I think showing the whole build order might give too much away and make people a bit less likely to watch it, good to know how it starts. If there was a bit for someone to write a brief overview of the game would be nice too, but thats not specific to the replay parsing I guess.

I just did it to test the output and it looks good, I can test a bit more extensively at home tonight and provide some decent feedback, different browsers and such.

I think the features here are all useful, the apm graph maybe not so much, the unique unit id's I don't even know what is, and yeah the other parts you said you'd add sound good.

Yep, when browsing for replays in the database you'll be able to view a specific League (ie. MLG or IEM) and then a subcategory (Orlando, New York).

That's actually already there, (underneath the APM charts) it's the part that I said to ignore 'cos I'm just using the default hex values from the MPQ instead of the actual unit names right now. At some point I'll replace them with graphics of each unit.

For example:
0x021101 = SCV
0x031001 = Marine
0x031301 = Marauder

+ [Show All] +

etc.

Yep, I definitely intend on trimming it, but I'm not sure how deep into the game? Any suggestions? It'll appear in a separate tab, nonetheless.

I'll include a comments/description section.

This is AMAZING!!!!

Dox so much for this! I would say having the chat / APM and your new interface everything is already pretty much there already and will be a huge improvement over our current replay system.

Build order should be whole game maybe capped at 20mins to prevent the excessively long 1hr games from messing it up. 20 mins so people can analyse games just by looking at the summaries, would be so cool and yea anyone wanting to click the BO is already going to get a spoiler so why not make it 20 mins instead of 6 where u cant really see anything (like the bnet histories tell so little). BO as it is now (like the bnet history) seems fine, dunno how more detailed it can be.. what else can be added?

Very nice Dox, I uploaded a few replays and think everything looks good.

My only suggestion relates to the BO's it displays. It's an awesome feature to be able to display the actual BO out of a replay, so I think that feature needs to stay, maybe add another little link thingy after the 'Show Winner' spoiler (in your example) that says; Display BO Player [1/2] just so it doesn't clog stuff up for the casual players who just wanna watch replays, while those of us who are interested in in-depth analysis can actually see the BO and learn from it.

Obviously it's gonna look prettier than it does right now, so far so good.

DOX!

I need to know how to extract data from a replay file, I have been wanting to make a program but can't find any information on how to get information from a replay file.

Bugalugs McScruffin · Thu, 3rd-Nov-2011, 7:40 AM

System, I assume you just read it as in input stream, bytes at a time. You just gotta know what they bytes mean.

Dox can elaborate.

**Dox** · Thu, 3rd-Nov-2011, 7:48 AM

Hmmm, shall reply to the latest posts a bit later today, but in the meantime a bug seems to have been highlighted by Pinder.

A 28 minute game on Antiga Shipyard is listing both players as having 1 APM. The entire chat log is parsed, however the APM/Units Produced/Build order is only capturing the first ~8 seconds of the game. Worrying!

I'll try to figure out what's wrong, I've only got like 2 weeks to finish this and then I'm busy again! So please, keep the feedback coming.

Zepph · Thu, 3rd-Nov-2011, 9:34 AM

Very much like Doxfriend

For improvements I think trimming the "all events" section by what is actually displayed. For example instead of having "trains a pair of zerglings" written 8 times maybe instead have it recognise repetitions in the table and count them to spit out "trains a pair of zerglings x8" or something.

As far as additions go I'd maybe like to see a little more in terms of the economy? Workers created, resources mined, peak income...things like that

One last thing is in uploading a tourney game I casted, quite a few other people were obsing and the chat that your parser outputs includes both chat between the players and everything the spectators said as well because I wasn't referee. It would be good to filter this out if possible

I'd actually be very interested in helping out with this site.

Hit me up on skype (see below) or some such if you're still putting out the calling.

Would also be interested in helping out with the development (I have a fair bit of web development experience).

(p.s. love the mock up idea)
